My Mom never mentioned that feature.  I don't know that it's limited  
to the Booktitle field.

Also, the BibDesk doc implies that the crossref'd entry lives in the  
same file with the crossrefee ("...all parent items must follow their  
children...").  Am I misreading this?

As it stands, the title shows up (both in the preview window and the  
actual PDF) with a properly accented 'e'.  Does this mean the proper  
character is being displayed?  I ask simply out of ignorance :-}

Thanks for the comments!
